Re: Simple Green
 
looks spectacular, as i've stated in the past :metal:

one thing i just noticed in this thread though is that the cab never seemed to leave the frame...were you able to clean up the frame under there as well?

oh, and any plans for pinstriping? not needed i suppose, but i think it would fit nicely with the style
